Desktop Publishing (DTP)

A translated document is often prepared for publishing after translation process, as it can also be done inside a DTP program. That’s why translation and DTP services very often go hand-in-hand. Desktop publishing is one of the last phases in a typical translation project, and one that gives the finishing & final look to the translated/localized materials.

As long as the translation quality is important, but still it is not the only process to ensure how much the project is successfully finalized. Even a small layout or typographical mistake may dramatically impact how users perceive the product or the brand. This is even more so on high-profile materials such as marketing communications, advertising or packaging materials.
